New UK PM Rishi Sunak is expected to unveil a new budget sometime in November. The focus is on raising money to cover the leaving costs of outgoing PM Liz Truss and various other MPs exiting the House due to sexual misconduct or expense fiddles.
The main provision is expected to be a new curry tax.
A spokesperson for the Treasury explained:
Most people, mainly in the USA, think that fish and chips is the most popular fast food in Britain but in fact it is a chicken tikka masala and pilau rice.
This is why the new curry tax is expected to pull in millions for the Treasury, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
We are also considering a tax on those foil curry containers and of course, poppadums and Cobra beer.
EU spokesperson Ursula Von Richthofen commented:
Good luck with that. There is no way that would work in Germany where bratwurst and curry sauce has become a national favourite. Vorsprung Durch Teknik!
